-'''Apple PIE''' (name tentative) is an alternate history of IE and nearby cultural regions. The premise is "different diachronic evolutions of English, Hebrew and a few other languages".

-The proto-branch of English in this universe is the set in the same place as our Hurrian and Urartian; conversely, Germanic becomes a non-IE language family.

-Most in-universe English dialects don't merge some PIE sounds, like *ei and *ī, which are merged in Proto-Germanic. Otherwise they sound a lot like English accents from our timeline.
-==Hebrew==
-Paleo-Hebrew in this universe distinguishes most consonants of Proto-Semitic, unlike in our timeline. This is reflected in some in-universe Hebrew accents which preserve distinctions like צׁ /ts̠/ vs צׂ /ts/, cognate with Arabic emphatic S and D.
-The closest Hebrew accent in-universe to our Modern Hebrew preserves the distinction between PSem *x and PSem *H as well.
